Apositive number 5 is less than another positive number. 6 times the lesser number minus 3 times the greater number is 3. find the two positive numbers.

Six times lesser number minus 3 times the greater number is 3." If x is 6, and it is 5 less than the other number, the other number is 11. 36 - 33 does indeed equal 3. Therefore the two numbers are 6 and 11.

i'm lil bre and i knew this since i was 9

[1st number] and (x+5)[2nd number]

The second sentence tells us this:

6(x) - (3)(x+5) = 3

or

6x - (3x+15) = 3

which becomes

6x - 3x - 15 = 3

Add 15 to each side:

6x - 3x = 3 + 15

Add/subtract:

3x = 18

Divide each side by 3:

x = 6

Let's plug it back in to make certain:

"If positive number is 5 less than another positive number. Six times lesser number minus 3 times the greater number is 3."

If x is 6, and it is 5 less than the other number, the other number is 11.

(6*6)-(3*11) = 3

36 - 33 does indeed equal 3.

Therefore the two numbers are 6 and 11.
